3 . The garment hanger of claim 2 , wherein said bottom ends of at least two of said center facing walls end from said open end within between 22 percent and 23 percent of said shortest distance.
4 . The garment hanger of claim 2 , wherein at least one of said at least two opposing side walls further comprises at least one perforation into said cavity.
5 . The garment hanger of claim 4 , wherein at least two of said at least two opposing side walls further comprises at least one perforation into said cavity.
6 . The garment hanger of claim 4 , wherein said at least one perforation is a perforation slot.
7 . The garment hanger of claim 6 , wherein each of said at least two of said at least two side walls further comprises three perforation slots.
8 . A scented garment hanger system, said system comprising:
at least one fragrance piece, said fragrance piece being comprised of plastic, said fragrance piece further comprising a fragrance, said fragrance being emitted from said fragrance piece, said fragrance being loaded into said plastic such that said fragrance will not drip a liquid substance if said fragrance piece is turned in any direction when said fragrance is being emitted, and wherein the range of the fragrance load in said fragrance piece is between 0.03 percent and 21 percent; at least one garment hanger, said at least garment hanger having at least one attacher, said at least one attacher being at least one cavity; said garment hanger comprising a top end, said top end comprising said at least one cavity, wherein said at least one cavity is an interior cavity, said cavity comprising at least one opening to the exterior; said at least one fragrance piece being removably attachable with said holding device by said attacher, and wherein said fragrance piece is removably attachable with said attacher without requiring said attacher to be removed from said from said garment hanger.
9 . The scented garment hanger system of claim 8 wherein said fragrance piece is flexible.
10 . The scented garment hanger system of claim 8 , said fragrance piece further comprising at least one fragrance-impregnated polyethylene-based concentrate, said at least one fragrance-impregnated polyethylene-based concentrate further comprising at least one bead, at least one particle, at least one pellet, at least one granule, or at least one mixture of at least one bead, at least one particle, at least one pellet, or at least one granule.
11 . The system of claim 8 , said top end further comprising at least one bottom opening.
12 . The system of claim 11 , said top end further comprising at least two opposing side walls.
13 . The system of claim 12 , said top end further comprising a top wall, said cavity being defined by said at least two opposing side walls and said top wall, and said cavity being accessible to the exterior at least by said at least one bottom opening.
14 . The system of claim 12 , said at least two opposing side walls being generally parallel to each other.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein at least one of said at least two opposing side walls further comprises at least one perforation into said cavity.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein at least two of said at least two opposing side walls further comprises at least one perforation into said cavity.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein said at least one perforation is a perforation slot.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein each of at least two of said at least two side walls further comprises three perforation slots.
19 . The system of claim 12 , wherein said top end further comprises at least one hanger column, said at least one hanger column at least partially traversing a portion of said interior of said cavity.
20 . The system of claim 19 wherein said hanger further comprises at least two hanger columns, each of said at least two hanger columns further comprising a center-facing wall, and wherein said at least one fragrance piece further comprises a first riser and a second riser and a middle portion therebetween, wherein said middle portion is longer than the length of the distance between at least two of said center-facing walls of said at least two hanger columns.
21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein said at least one fragrance piece is removably attachable with said hanger by being removably insertable into said at least one bottom opening, whereby when said at least one fragrance piece is inserted in said hanger, said first riser touches one said center-facing wall and said second riser touches another said center-facing wall.
22 . The system of claim 21 wherein, said middle portion is in an arc shape.
23 . The system of claim 21 wherein said fragrance piece is flexible and when said at least one fragrance piece is removably inserted in said cavity said middle portion bends in an arc shape.
24 . The system of claim 13 wherein said at least one fragrance piece comprises at least two opposing fragrance piece side walls, and when said at least one fragrance piece is removably inserted in said cavity, at least a portion of each of at least two of said opposing fragrance piece side walls of said at least one fragrance piece impact at least two of said opposing side walls of said cavity.
25 . The system of claim 8 wherein said at least one fragrance piece further comprises at least one tab.
26 . The system of claim 8 wherein said at least one fragrance piece further comprises at least one outward-facing protrusion.
27 . The system of claim 26 wherein at least one of said at least one protrusions comprises an outward-facing ridge.
28 . A scented garment hanger system, said system comprising:
at least one fragrance piece, said fragrance piece being comprised of at least one flexible plastic, said fragrance piece further comprising a fragrance, said fragrance being emitted from said fragrance piece, said fragrance being loaded into said plastic such that the fragrance will not drip a liquid substance if said fragrance piece is turned in any direction when said fragrance is being emitted, and wherein the range of the fragrance load in said fragrance piece is between two and ten percent; said at least one fragrance piece being longer than it is wide, said at least one fragrance piece further comprising at least one outward facing ridge and at least one tab; said system further comprising at least one garment hanger, said at least one garment hanger having at least one attacher, said at least one attacher being at least one cavity; said at least one fragrance piece being removably attachable with said garment hanger by said attacher, and wherein said fragrance piece is removably attachable with said attacher without requiring said attacher to be removed from said from said garment hanger; said garment hanger comprising a top end, said top end, comprising at least one interior cavity, said cavity comprising at least one open end opening to the exterior at the bottom of said top end, said top end further comprising at least two opposing walls and a top wall, said top wall comprising an interior portion facing said cavity, said top end further comprising at least two hanger columns, said at least two hanger columns at least partially traversing a portion of the interior of said cavity, each of said at least two hanger columns having a center-facing wall, each of said at least two hanger columns having a bottom end, said cavity further having a shortest distance from said interior portion of said top wall to said open end that intersects said bottom end of said center-facing wall, said bottom end of said center facing wall of at least one of said at least two hanger columns ending from said open end within no more than 27.2 percent of said shortest distance; two of said at least two opposing walls each further comprising three perforation slots; said at least one fragrance piece further comprising a first riser and a second riser and a middle portion therebetween, wherein said middle portion is longer than the length of the distance between at least two of said at least two center-facing walls; said at least one fragrance piece being removably attachable with said hanger by being removably insertable into said bottom opening, whereby when said at least one fragrance piece is inserted in said hanger, said first riser touches one center-facing wall and said second riser touches another center-facing wall and said middle portion bends in an arc shape; said at least one fragrance piece further comprising at least two opposing fragrance piece side walls, said at least one fragrance piece further being removably attachable with said hanger whereby when said at least one fragrance piece is removably inserted in said cavity, at least a portion of each of at least two of said opposing fragrance piece side walls of said at least one fragrance piece impact at least two of said opposing side walls of said cavity.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
